Would appreciate any of the garage traders' input if possible :) I had a rebuilt gearbox fitted two weeks ago by a very reputable 200SX specialists which they supplied. I bought a second hand propshaft which looked in better nick than mine and the garage agree to swap it for mine when swapping the gearboxes. It turned out that the propshaft I'd bought didn't fit anyway as it was for an auto and the input diameter is wrong, so they put mine back on straight after removing it. I picked up the car, was a bit disappointed about not having the prop replaced but drove home. You still with me? This morning in Daventry I'm pulling away from Ben's nurser…

Hi guys, I viewed a 300ZX Twin Turbo today and thought id publish my findings. The guy had it up for sale for £6k and is a 1994 manual. I thought for £6k it should be a very nice example! It has a few nice modifications too, such as twin Kakimoto exhausts, Greddy boost controller, Greddy turbo timer and a Blitz turbo guage. The car has coilovers, a nice looking bodykit and aftermarket alloy wheels. I went to have a look with high hopes with a massive grin on my face, itching to have a go, thinking this is too good to be true. Anyway, first impressions were good. After a good look, I found a few minor flaws. There were: 1. Had no immobiliser/alarm …

Can anybody recommend some and maybe post a linky?

I fitted a short shifter to my old rover 620ti and it made a huge difference to the general driving experience. I'm looking to do the same with my z and I'm gonna buy a short shift kit pretty soon. When I got the one for the rover I was quoted 20min fitting time and it took me well over 2 hours! Exhaust and gear linkage all had to come off! (Was well worth it tho). Has anyone fitted such a kit to their z? How long did it take and I take it its all gonna have to be done from underneith? My Z is a little more difficult to get under than a rover! There are 2 short shift kits for the 300zx on ebay at the mo, one cheaper one at £27.95 start and one at £45 buy it now…

How do i get to it to run a diagnostic??

Will the standard UK spec oil cooler fit a jap spec Zed ?
